Dental Anxiety - Fear Of The Dentist

Are You Worried About Visiting The Dentist?

Anxiety or fear of the dentist is a perfectly natural and understandable condition. In fact over a third of people in the UK are anxious or worried when they have to visit the dentist.

Because of the many people do not seek out dental treatment until they are in pain, perhaps the worst time to visit the dentist.

Treatment is then limited, often involving the removal of a tooth. This may not be seen as particularly nice and so a patient may feel more anxious at their next visit. This is a horrible cycle that we try to stop.

How Do We Help Our Nervous Patients

We are well known across Pembrokeshire and West Wales for helping people who are scared of the dentist.

You will not only find the dentist and staff friendly and understanding towards your needs but the whole atmosphere relaxing and unique.

Both of our practices are located within beautiful areas of Pembrokeshire, either in wonderfully aesthetic countryside or quaint market towns, a fact in itself helpful in conveying a relaxed unhurried approach to dentistry.

Further to this, however, all our clinicians have many years of experience in relaxation techniques ranging from dental hypnosis to intravenous sedation and we even employ some more unorthodox and unique methods of making you as relaxed as possible.

Dental Sedation

What is Dental Sedation

Sedation is the use of drugs to achieve relaxation within the dental surgery.

This is normally used if a dental treatment is deemed too much for a patient to cope with. We have the option to administer sedative drugs via a small needle in the back of the hand.

This technique is very effective. You are not asleep but you are generally oblivious or unaware as to what is happening. You lose your fears and not only do you become unconcerned with what is happening but also normally have no memory of the events after the procedure.

Dental Sedation Within Pembrokeshire

Few dental surgeons offer this service within Pembrokeshire, and none that are able to carry out the wide range of treatments we offer at the same time.

We have a number of qualified dentists who are able to use sedation to carry out treatments, across both of our practices, making it convenient to you.

This means that there is minimal wait, no referrals and all manner of treatment can be carried out in the same session, minimising stress and getting your treatment completed quicker.

Is It Safe?

Absolutely. When performed by expert dentists like ourselves, this procedure is completely safe.

You are constantly monitored by one of our nurses throughout the procedure so you can be reassured that you are in safe hands. We are even able to reverse the sedation should the need arise.

Animal Assisted Therapy

We are well known for being a little different when it comes to dentistry, and this is certainly the case with our animal assisted therapy.

By using animals in our calm and tranquil settings we are able to make many fears dissolve and start to regain some of the trust that you may have lost in your dentist.

Fantastic dental practice. I have been a regular dental attender all my life but never told of my bad gums or why they were getting worse. On my first visit to Narberth I was shown photographs of the problem and given clear explanation of how bad the situation was becoming. Treatment was proactive, pain free and I feel my whole mouth is so much better. I will never go anywhere else again!

It has certainly changed my life. No More tears and I came down for a check-up last year, and everything was fine. A Clean bill Of Health.

I had been self conscious about my teeth for some time. I was amazed at what Mark was able to do and everyone at the practice was great every time i visited.
The process was really easy, and you couldn't even see them when they were in, much better than traintracks!
Ellen Picton

I did not like my smile and my previous dentist would not help me. I visited Dr Boulcott who, using Invisalign, straightened my teeth. I am so delighted with the results and now I am thinking about whitening my teeth. I would recommend Herbrandston Dental Health Practice - they are such nice people and really know what they are doing
Hannah Williams

Since I’ve been here I’ve been pleased. Bit of a Laugh with Mark And Petra every time. Enjoyed the service and always thorough.
Dai Evans

I first contacted the Practice having lived with raging toothache for several months. They fitted me in straight way and my abscess was sorted within days. All this treatment was pain free and in a relaxed atmosphere due to caring and gentle nature of my dentist. I highly recommend this surgery to absolutely anyone.
Julia Hughes

Very friendly and professional practice really made me feel at ease about being at the dentist, after suffering from server tooth pain for weeks and getting nowhere with my NHS dentist these guys fitted me in asap and really took care of me. Massive Thank You!
